craftgrrl | Hi all, Newbie intro, plus sewing machines

Hi all, I have opened up a journal just to use for crafting stuff my other journal is under

scarletwolf. I have been a lurker at this community since the start of the year, and am a 21 year old single mother from Brisbane Australia.

I will be purchasing a second-hand sewing machine from Cash converters as i have a credit note with them, i just have to find out if they have them in and how much they are, i'll eventually get a serger/overlocker, but in the mean time i want to be able to make basic stuff for me and my 21mth old boy.

I also noticed that you can buy a SewCute machine in the States, can something similar be brought in Australia?? I would love to eventually get into mosiacing, altering clothes, making bags and other stuff.

:)
